AMD Ryzen 9 9900X CPU Demoed Running Avatar Frontiers of Pandora Benchmark, Huge Gaming Performance Uplift Showcased

At Computex 2024, AMD announced its next-gen Ryzen 9000 Desktop CPUs based on the Zen 5 core architecture which brings a hefty +16% IPC improvement. In its presentation, AMD showed some nice gaming performance uplifts of the Ryzen 9 9950X against Intel's top Core i9-14900K chip and it looks like the company also demoed its Ryzen 9 9900X at their demo booth. The folks over at TechpowerUP managed to get a sight of the gaming demo which is our first look at an actual game benchmark being run on the 12-core part.

Moving on, Uniko's Hardware managed to grab a shot of a system running AMD's flagship Ryzen 9 9950X CPU with 16 of the latest Zen 5 cores. Once again, this shows that retail chips are ready to ship out for sales next month and the new X870E/X870 motherboards will be one nice
